Proton therapy combo aims to shrink pancreatic tumors before surgery
NCT ID NCT04894643
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new approach for people with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, where the tumor is close to important blood vessels but may still be removable. Participants first receive chemotherapy, then proton beam radiation combined with more chemo, followed by surgery if possible. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and helps control the disease before and after surgery.
